At the same time, when Zhou Ziyue was going out, he passed by Bai Yanli who had just entered the door.

"Master." His subordinates saw Zhou Ziyue and wanted to remind Bai Yanli.

But he raised his hand to stop it.

Bai Yanli's attention was attracted by another more important thing.

He looked up and saw Tang Wanru surrounded by women on the second floor. The ladies kept pointing at her, while the noblemen sitting opposite greeted her one by one.

Bai Yanli understood immediately.

His eyes narrowed. Her status was great. Not only did she become his sister, but she might even bring him a brother-in-law in a few days...

Thinking of this, Bai Yanli felt a headache, so he walked straight up to the second floor without stopping.

Seeing that Tang Wanru was surrounded by the group of noble ladies and couldn't get out, he simply stood behind the group of women, and relying on his height advantage, he stretched out his long arms, reached over those women, put his arms around Tang Wanru's shoulders, and pulled her out of the crowd.

Tang Wanru was dazed, and by the time she came to her senses, she was already in Bai Yanli's arms.

"Husband..." Her eyes were full of gratitude after being rescued, and she wanted to immediately make it clear that she was a married woman.

Bai Yanli suddenly put a finger against her little mouth and said, "Shh." Although he preferred her to call him husband rather than brother, now was obviously not the right time.

Their identities as members of the Qiao family have just been recognized by people, and now they change their address to husband and wife. Wouldn't that arouse suspicion?

I really need to call this brother for a few more days.

"Huh?" At this moment, the noble ladies who were enthusiastically introducing men to Tang Wanru saw Tang Wanru being suddenly pulled away. They all turned around to see who was the blind man.

And this look.

In an instant, they even forgot what they were doing just now.

Who is this tall and handsome man in front of me?

How come they haven't seen each other before?

"Sorry." Bai Yanli rescued Tang Wanru and held her in his arms. With one hand, he protected her from anyone getting close to her, and with the other hand, he said to them politely, "Sorry to bother you to introduce someone to my sister. I have something to do with her. Let's talk next time." After he finished speaking, he smiled and nodded at them, then turned around and left with his arm around Tang Wanru.

younger sister?

Even after they left, the ladies were still confused. He just said that was his sister? Was he Qiao Jiu who just returned from the Qiao family?

Oh my God, is this Qiao family so rich in handsome men and beautiful women?

They hadn't noticed it before.

The show is about to begin.

But Tang Wanru was pulled out by Bai Yanli. She thought he was angry because he was surrounded by the noble ladies just now, so Tang Wanru said, "They don't know the situation. I also said that I have a lover and I don't want anyone else."

When Mr. Qiao assigned her status, she was already single. Who would have thought that there would be so many things.

Unexpectedly, Bai Yanli raised his hand and gently scratched her nose and said, "Don't go to crowded places like this next time. You are a saint, and you are very popular in Liangdu recently. If the people around you today are not women, and I didn't happen to see them, what should I do?"

Recently, Suiqi has been assigned other things by him and has not been by her side.

So he was worried.

So it was because of this. Tang Wanru thought that he didn't know yet. Even if he didn't see it, no man would dare to approach her. She, the Dark Lord of the Dark Realm, was no pushover.

However, Tang Wanru did not say this, but said: "Husband, I didn't come here for nothing today."

She raised an eyebrow: "I have a purpose."

Seeing Bai Yanli's curiosity, she continued, "I found the woman who lives in Plum Blossom Alley."

*

Tang Wanru pulled Bai Yanli back into the Feitian Tower, but this time they did not go upstairs. Instead, they went directly across the stage and came to the backyard of the Feitian Tower.

There were dancers waiting there to prepare for the performance.

Unlike the noisy other dancers, there was one dancer who was sitting quietly by herself.

There was a little girl, about five or six years old, playing next to her.

"Mom, when can we go home?"

The dancer didn't say anything after hearing this, but made gestures, which roughly meant, "We'll go home after mom finishes her performance and we've collected enough money to go home."

Then she reached out her hand and touched the little girl's head with a smile.

Bai Yanli pinched his forehead lightly.

She is actually a mute.

Seeing the curiosity in his eyes, Tang Wanru said, "She is the person that Xu Wang placed in the Plum Blossom Courtyard."

Bai Yanli was very surprised.

Tang Wanru continued to explain: "I believe you can see that she is a mute, but she was not born mute, she was poisoned and became mute."

"She was not originally in Liangdu. This time she came to Liangdu to look for her husband who had not returned for three years while taking the imperial examination. Unexpectedly, her husband had married the daughter of a high-ranking official in Liangdu. When he saw her coming, he not only had her beaten and kicked, but also had her poisoned to silence her in order to prevent her from telling him that he already had a wife and daughter. If it weren't for General Xu's protection, she would have been killed by her scum husband."

Hearing this, Bai Yanli's eyes darkened coldly.

What he hates most in his life is people who harm orphans and widows.

What's more, this man is her husband.

"In that case," Bai Yanli said, "Xu Wang did a good thing."

"In fact, judging from the love that the people of Liangdu have for General Xu, he is indeed a good person. He is just not good at talking and only does things without saying anything."

"Then how do you know about this?" Bai Yanli asked. He asked this because he wanted to get some clues about the Dark Domain from Tang Wanru.

Unexpectedly, Tang Wanru was not fooled at all. She said, "It was through those women who were blocked by the emperor in Plum Blossom Alley that day."

"The emperor was in a hurry and didn't ask anything, but I know they are the Feitian Dancers. They went to practice dancing with Shuang'er, but when the emperor rushed in, they thought these people were sent by her unfaithful man to arrest her, so they refused to tell him anything."

"As a result, the emperor returned empty-handed."

"But in fact, if you look closely you will find out."

Good one, you will find out if you check it carefully.

This little girl is really good at avoiding the important issues.

Bai Yanli couldn't help but chuckle. He didn't believe that she could find out the truth behind the situation so easily without knowing anything and being unfamiliar with the place.

However, Tang Wanru wouldn't expose the truth unless she took the initiative to tell him about it.

"According to what you said, I think the focus is not on this woman." Bai Yanli pondered, "but on Xu Wang. He doesn't look like someone who would elope with my mother."
